I have the AMD RX480 and I want to use it instead of the CPU. From what I have researched I think thats it's not possible however I thought adobe software started using OpenGL as well. Please correct me if I'm wrong or if there is a way to do it, I'd appreciate the help.

Ray-traced rendering is no longer being developed because NVIDIA changed their architecture an it was impractical to dedicate more time to development. The new C4D rendering engine is what you should be using.

Actually, that isn't true. NVIDIA is still working on raytracing. The C4D plugin is a different pipeline than the previous ray tracing pipeline.

Incorrect - concerning Adobe - Adobe has depreciated NVIDIA Ray Tracing rendering and is no longer working to develop it or support it because of changes made by NVIDIA in the architecture. Nothing NVIDIA does will add support to After Effects unless Adobe and NVIDIA come to another agreement on joint development. That is highly unlikely because there are so many more GPU's out there that work with different and more compatible calculations.
